It looks like this notice-level entry was changed to an info-level entry starting in Tor 0.2.7.1-alpha:

So it looks like you are running an old version of Tor? You should upgrade and the line should go away. In any case it should be harmless.
Hope that helps, --Roger

Yeah well I'm running on rpi3 and it says in tor-arm that 0.2.5 is the recommended version for this architecture.
Anyway I checked out your public repo's of armhf compiled tor packages. These packages are unfortunately dependent on libsystemd that is not welcome on my systems. I am running devuan as OS.
So I have looked into building a newer version myself but it is a bit of jungle to setup the tool chain for me.
I hadn't noticed this log-message before and had some trouble with my relay so felt the need to seek information.

Well, according to this question I asked on Tor's StackExchange, version 0.2.4.26 is still technically in the recommended consensus.
At any rate, running an older version is better for diversity, isn't it?

And it will be the next to go, likely when the next directory authority's details change, or a serious security issue is discovered.

Sort of, but the accumulated security fixes and performance improvements in later versions tend to outweigh the benefit of running a really old version. You'd actually contribute more to Tor's diversity by running 0.2.6, and even 0.2.7 isn't the most common version any more.

Well, until someone decides to update Orbot, Android users are still on 0.2.7.5.
